I think it would've been fine to leave Robau as an middle-eastern person...the decision to make him cuban, cheapens the integrity of the character

It probably would have been fine to portray Robau as a Middle Eastern character - but for one thing, there was never any definitive proof that he was going to be that way in the first place, only rumours, so criticising the film-makers for not following through with something that we really don't know was their intention in the first place is pointless.

Furthermore, I don't understand how Robau's being Cuban "cheapens the integrity" of the character. We're looking at a united Earth in the 23rd century, so if you're saying that his being Cuban somehow makes him ethically grey, that doesn't stand up in the world depicted in Star Trek.

He is a kick-ass nodd to Captain Sisko to bring in the Niners...
